Barnadown Run Heathcote Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 ($35)

This is humming along now. Cloves, cedar, tea, blackcurrant, aniseed, red earth - it's drinking like a charm. It often surprises me just how good Heathcote cabernet can be - often better than the shiraz. This carries a gorgeous line of tannins too. This is a wine both Varnadown Run, and the Heathcote region, can be proud of. Drink: 2007-2013. 92 points.
